      I've had players from 3 @NFL teams say they've been directly discouraged by team management/owners not to protest or demonstrate.

      I've had players from several teams say team owners/management have tried to co-opt their plans to take a knee or a seat with something else

          Probably players on teams who've donated to the Great Racist Leader in the past. Fucking predictable.

          Yeah, have to assume this is coming from teams who's owners donated. Despicable. They are being unAmerican to subvert peaceful protest.

          My bet is the @Browns are one of the teams trying to co-opt...just like they did after 12 of their players took a knee during preseason MNF

          The fact that they have been told to act a certain way (or else) by an “owner” isn’t lost on me.

          I hope the name of those team owners goes public. I feel NFL fans have a right to know who they give $ to when supporting teams.

          Protest is supposed to be uncomfortable and risky. I can't tell anyone what to do, but this is exactly when protest is most important.
